Hotel Karuna

Coffee at breakfast

Overall it’s a cozy hotel to relax. I have stayed in Hotel Karuna for 3 nights and I enjoy every minute in the hotel. I love the cute plants in the hotel and they are taken good care of by the staff there. The staff there are very nice and friendly to help. Great thanks to them for making my stay in hotel Karuna a good memory. The breakfast is also to be expected. Both local food and bread are served. Coffee is a highlight. I also like the handmade soap they provided. The hotel is near the lakeside street, the Fewa lake is in a walking distance.

The internet is quite slow in the hotel

Staff are great, has a good eatery next door. Breakfast though limited in variety is good. If is walkable to the lake and Main Street.

No elevators but they make that clear prior the arrival.

The staff were incredibly friendly. They couldn't do enough to help us. The breakfast was delicious - you could go back for me. It is close to the Lake. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The place looks modern and is well looked after. I truly can't recommend this hotel highly enough. We want to come back! This is the place to stay in Pokhara

I truly can't think of anything. It totally exceeded my expectatoins.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Karura. The service was excellent, and I’d especially like to thank Kritika, who truly stood out with her warmth and professionalism. She was the best! A big thank you also to Narayan, Sorup, and Nisha for their great service. Highly recommended!

Nice breakfast with yummy waffles! Good pour over coffee and choices of fresh juices for an extra charge. Lovely afternoon "happy hour" with local Nepali snacks. Nice lobby area and fantastic staff! Simple hotel but comfortable beds and pillows and good location.

Next to a preschool which is noisy during the daytime on that side of the hotel. Wish there had been some choice of complimentary juice on the breakfast buffet.

Eco friendly,,they have eco soap en filtered water on every floor.Western clean hotel

Common sitting area is stunning, a beautiful place to sit and relax. Lovely breakfast. Helpful staff. Eco friendly. Clean and comfortable rooms

Nothing comes to mind!

The hotel is beautiful inside, you are met with a friendly smile when you enter. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay great. The rooms are clean with a lovely balcony and the rooftop available. We actually changed our plans a bit so we could stay 1 extra night as it has been by far the best hotel we have stayed in Nepal and the value for money is excellent. The breakfast was delicious with a range of foods. Would 100% recommend

Their street food concept, the aim to be a fully eco hotel, the location - all great.

I think breakfast service needs a machine as it’s hard for one person to keep up with orders.

Hotel is in a great location, nice garden out front and cute lobby area. Hot showers. Nice balcony in our room.

The strategic location, near to the main street yet it is still quiet for a stay.The room is clean and comfortable and the staff made extra effort to let us feel like home away from home.

The floor is slippery when it is wet.

Good location, good friendly staff, perfect lobby to chill

Old rooms, very strange bathroomNo shampoo (not comfortable with the soap)

ReviewWe stayed at Hotel Karuna for 2 nights before our trek and 4 nights after our trek and we really loved it here! We had a family room (2 adults, 2 kids) which was clean, spacious and quiet. Shower was hot and never ran out of warm water, even if all 4 of us took a shower. The staff (both male and female) is so friendly and calm and they seem confident in their work and are a really happy and good team together. I mention this because in other hotels I’ve often seen one person bossing other around. The staff can help with booking busses, jeeps etc (we took one to Ghandruk to start our Annapurna trek). If you go trekking you can leave the luggage you don’t need in their storage room safely. There is also a laundry service (very handy when you come back!). Breakfast was lovely: yoghurts, fruits, toast, waffles, Nepali food etc. Everything was very fresh and locally sourced where possible. Coffee was made fresh for everyone in the morning and the masala tea was also delicious. The lounge of the hotel is very big with lots of different places to sit and relax. Also good place to work (fast internet, plugs available), read (they have books), play some boardgames or socialise with other travellers. In the afternoon you can try Nepali snacks on donation basis (whatever you think its worth). The room gets cleaned every day if you want, fresh towels etc. The location was perfect for us: a quiet street but very close to the main street in Lakeside. Many good restaurants around. I would 100% recommend this place to others and hope to return one day with my family. Thank you hotel Karuna ❤️.

close location to Lake side, but not too close,, clean rooms, excellent breakfast, high service level

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the area. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help. The room was spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
